Monday Brunch at Kuchabe, 24 June 2019

The hubs had an hour of free time at 11 a.m. today and after picking up Sherilyn from the tuition centre, we had brunch at a newly opened meat-free restaurant.  Kuchabe serves healthy meat-free dishes.  Eggs are served though.

The dishes are sodium and sugar reduced and contain no MSG. The food tastes very much home-cooked. This is an eatery where the health-savvy, vegetarian, flexitarian and pescatarian would go to.

Kuchabe Salted Tea Rice aka Lui Char. This ensemble tastes very much like it's from grandma's kitchen. Totally not salty or oily.  Even the sick can eat this piece. The flavors come from the blended green vegetables and mint leaves broth/tea, served from the teapot.  Not pitch perfect in taste but perfect for the body as the ingredients are composed of healthy vegetables, ginger and puffed barley.

The Nai Cha Wong (king milk tea) is nicely brewed, has just the right amount of milk and is not overly sweet.  Very nice.




The rice for the Nasi Lemak has nice aroma of coconut milk but somehow, the sambal lacks depth as it's cooked without the unhealthy pungent 'belacan'. It would be perfect for  health freaks and those who cannot tolerate 'belacan'.



The Wantan noodles is served with a huge fried wantan and a non-fried wantan ~ the noodles are sans dark soy sauce and tastes pretty much like the ones that I usually prep for the girls at home, i.e. seasoned with only sesame seed oil and soy sauce.  We were so stuffed that we doggy-bagged the untouched noodles and Cass walloped the entire plate of it with Ba Ku Teh when she came home from school.



Deep fried spring rolls are stuffed with a generous amount of vegetables. Very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.




Thai Pineapple fried rice is gloriously good and stands out the most among all the items that we ordered. It's fried with brown rice, very flavorful and most importantly to me, it's not overly salty and oily.








Hubs personally preferred a meal with some meat.  But I'm perfectly fine with it. I'll order the pineapple fried rice and milk tea again and try the meat-free curry noodles at our next visit.
